Assessing the Policy Environment for Active Mobility in Cities-Development and Feasibility of the PASTA Cycling and Walking Policy Environment Score Hasselt University
The importance of setting a policy focus on promoting cycling and walking as sustainable and healthy modes of transport is increasingly recognized. However, to date a science-driven scoring system to assess the policy environment for cycling and walking is lacking. In this study, spreadsheet-based scoring systems for cycling and walking were developed, including six dimensions (cycling/walking culture, social acceptance, perception of traffic ...
Policy 2.0 platform for mobile sensing and incentivized targeted shifts in mobility behavior Ghent University
Sustainable mobility and smart mobility management play important roles in achieving smart cities’ goals. In this context we investigate the role of smartphones as mobility behavior sensors and evaluate the responsivity of different attitudinal profiles towards personalized route suggestion incentives delivered via mobile phones. The empirical results are based on mobile sensed data collected from more than 3400 people’s real life over a period ...
Integrating big data into a sustainable mobility policy 2.0 planning support system Ghent University University of Antwerp
Sustainable Transportation and Policy Development: A Study for Impact Analysis of Mobility Patterns and Neighborhood Assessment of Walking Behavior Hasselt University KU Leuven
Since rapid growth and car-oriented patterns became a global threat and non-communicable diseases (NCDs) levels are advancing, strategies to redesign the built environment into healthier spaces have gained importance. Walkability plays a central role in this context. However, the literature is dominated by studies from western industrialized countries. In this paper, we employed structural equational modeling to analyze perceptual data collected ...
Analysis and improvement of “The Last Mile” to and from the national airport as part of the mobility policy in the Brussels urban area Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Aviation is the fastest growing transport mode worldwide. This transport mode largely owes its popularity to the fact that passengers are able to swiftly cover large distances. Apart from the environmental consequences of this situation, one of the drawbacks of this success is the increasing number of passengers that need to be transported to and from the airport before and after their flights. 'The last mile' is the distance between the ...
The impact of mobility and migration on the identity-constructing policy in Brussels Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Citizen science and the potential for mobility policy - Introducing the Bike Barometer University of Antwerp Ghent University
In this paper, we report on a citizen science pilot project involving adolescents who digitize and assess their daily home-to-school routes in different school neighborhoods in Flanders (Belgium). As part of this pilot project, a web-based platform, called the "Bike Barometer" ("Fietsbarometer" in Dutch) was developed. We introduce the tool in this paper and summarize the insights gained from the pilot. From the official launch of the platform ...
The need for an Elderly centred mobility policy University of Antwerp
This paper reflects the ageing process as a normal and universal transformation, their physical and cognitive limitations when faced with a mobility system that is not adapted to the reality of the elders and which facts must be considered in a possible restructuring of the system in order to promote the quality of life of the elderly, access to goods, opportunities and social groups providing them with the necessary empowerment to independently ...
